There are no instructions for doing this, it isn’t something you can do in the Weebly dashboard, but it is something that our friends over at Weebly will be able to help with. You simply need get in touch with Weebly and they will be more than happy to help.

​BUT WHAT ABOUT IF I ACCIDENTALLY DELETE CONTENT ON MY WEEBLY WEBSITE?

Unfortunately the grass is not so green if you do this. Because of the way Weebly is designed, it saves things as you go, and it can’t really save it in the history, so if you delete something on your page by accident, then you’ll have to redo it unfortunately… We do have a few great tips however on how you can reduce the risk of accidentally deleting content on your site.

If you have a Weebly page that took you a long time. Make a copy of it before you make any changes… if all goes horrible, you have the copy to use as your backup.

If you don’t want to accidentally delete something on your Website don’t delete anything. instead setup a dummy page (hide it from navigation) and instead of deleting anything from the page you’re working on, just move it to the dummy page. this way if you realize if you accidentally moved the wrong thing. you can get it back.

If you’re going in for a redesign, or a major overhaul of your weebly website… make a full copy of your site before you do anything… you might get so far and change your mind… you’re copy is your backup in a worst case scenario.
